You've just selected a few bad apples. You are recognizing these behaviours as being wrong and they are! Insecurities, their own inadequacies, their baggage..all contribute to their demise of relationships with good women like yourself. The positive aspect about all this is you've learned the signs and you will always hold out for a better man. Dating is a 'selection process' and we take what we learn and apply as to how we conduct our love lives. Mindgames and sarcasm is a pretty good sign, that a guy is insecure and I question his respect for women, in general. Men like this quite often continue with these games long after you establish a long term relationship with them. A great guy man doesn't resort to these games. He'll work hard to build the love, trust and respect. Trust me, I know.I have a good guy like that. He has never, ever resorted to mindgames. So keep on using your head and discerning the good guys from the bad guys. Good luck in your journey and I hope you find happiness.

well im not sure but it sounds like you might be playing along, i have always refused to enter mind games with a guy , always lay things out on the table if thats how you want things to be, and hopefully they will follow suit , if not just be one step ahead , this sort of behavoiur tends to fade out later into the relationship
